OK, someone mentioned in another thread something about a few players that were upset with Giga and also that he went busto. Some of us asked for more info, but got chastised for the attempted hijack. Anyone know about this?

paging el diablo....

You didn't hear it from me!

Questioner #1: Good Source #1! i need gigabust information!

Good Source #1: ok

Good Source #2: gigabet sucks, so he lost all his money
Good Source #2: what's so difficult to comprehend

Good Source #1: lost all his money

Questioner #2: ??? sucks? i thought he was best player ever

Good Source #1: conned lots of people
Good Source #1: into giving him money

Good Source #2: you have to REALLY suck when you have a lot of money

Questioner #2: i dont know though, where did all gigas money go? how did he go busto? where did he lose all this money that he supposedly have?
Questioner #1: GS2, did gigabet really ever scare anybody at the high stakes sngs then?

Good Source #2: gigabet was quite decent at the high stakes sngs
Good Source #2: he was dead money in cash games apaprently
Good Source #2: and had like a psychological thing where he liked to go stack off to mahatma
Good Source #2: but, he was not the best sng player, clearly
Good Source #2: he had more endurance than many

Questioner #2: hey whoa wha not me!

Good Source #2: :-)
Good Source #2: but, people liked the idea that people could be more creative and continue to play sngs, as that is sexy

Time for some more popcorn. [censored] TV, Friday Night entertainment on 2+2 wins all.

After doing some browsing, it seems that the busto part of the rumour is false. The other part, however, is looking rather true.

I don't think anyone really ever claimed Gigabet was a great cash game player.

Im clueless, and am in the mood for more busto cheating related gossip. Links?

Good source 4 - Yeah I heard Gigabet lost 1 million to Doyle during the WSOP

Good Source 5- No it was more like 400k

Hey awesome! I'm "Questioner #2" in that chat.

Well, just check out some of the suggestions people are making for his avatar: giga evidence

if anyone read the samoleus thread in MHNL, they will see how easily itd be to con 2+2ers.

Ummm, these people obviously weren't in the chat.

All,

Many MTTers know all the facts here firsthand. Hopefully one of them will step forward with details.

Coooooooome Oooooooooooon!

More details on this part please.

Wow this is a lot of buildup. Someone come on and explain this, i'm getting anxious.

You heard the man! Lets go!

I agree, lets hear it. *snacks on his popcorn and Twizzlers* *sips beer*

Since I don't play tourneys hardly at all and so normally don't follow the tourney forums, I am not all that familiar with gigabet, but am aware he is held in some esteem. However if he is unfairly being slandered here and doesn't come forward to defend himself, then that says something very telling. Unless of course ZJ and JJ have used up all the BS excuses if he really is guilty of something.

He really doesn't post regularly at all so there's a good chance he doesn't even know this thread exists, though a few times in the past he has piped in if there's some sort of discussion about him.

I don't know anything about the Gigabet rumors, but I do know he's not a daily poster, and when he does post, it tends to be more regarding hand play and less about gossip, cheating, or hero worship.

Plus, this forum is not frequented by a lot of regular posters. I myself have never come here until yesterday, when the MTT Moderator pointed us in this direction.

El D,

I'm really upset you are not more up to date on this gossip. Seriously. Are you stone walling us?

SS,

I am not stonewalling. I have a pretty good idea of what happened here, but I have heard a wide range of stories (all pretty consistent regarding the core facts) from a number of different very highly regarded people on the tourney scene. I do not have any firsthand knowledge of Gigabet's situation or dealings with others. I have just heard a lot of stuff. While I'm confident that it is true that he went bust and that a lot of shady stuff transpired after that, I do not know the actual facts ot these shady things, and therefore am leaving the specifics to be told by those with firsthand knowledge.

If these rumors are unfounded and someone steps forward to say that, that is fine too. I doubt that's the case, though.

The reason I brought this up today was that in light of the ZJ scandal, it became clear to me in reading the responses that many people are far too naive and trusting about what goes on in the online poker world.

For both personal moral reasons and financial reasons, I am in favor of anything that increases the level of integrity of the online poker world. No reason the cleaning house should stop with ZeeJustin.
